SUMMER BINGO,
- the anniversary event at fish & chips
- the anniversary event at fish & chips
Coming up Rosy!
I've been thinking really hard about what to do for F&C's celebratory one year. It's hard to believe we've all made it this far, and I am so happy to see everyone still thriving and posting and wanting to make the most of it. It's not official until June 25th, but with the spirit of sunny days, flower crowns, and happy times in our hearts and celebration under way, it feels like a beautiful time to get everyone out of our shell and into the open, posting air!
So, I've decided to put together a Summer Bingo contest! Here's how it works:
There are sixteen spaces comprised of summer-related words/locations. You will use these as themes/concepts/prompts for a thread. These threads must be new and not existing ones, but the beauty of them is that they will revolve around one of the words/concepts/locations provided in a space, and they don't have to last that long! Threads that pertain to this event only have to be 6 posts total between you and your writing partner(s), each containing at least one paragraph. You can go longer if you want, but once you hit the 6 posts in a thread, you can "mark" the space with a chip and mark the thread as completed. Threads can have up to four characters, but the threads relating to the bingo contest only require onexone/two characters interacting. The idea for this contest is to enjoy writing for writing sake, to explore different character dynamics/interactions, and let your creativity soar while also boosting activity on the site. With this in mind, bingo threads do not have to be plot-oriented at all. They can just be fun, laid-back, good-ole times. Lazy summer days, a trip to a foreign planet, the adventure of/in nature, a time thing gone wrong, or simply a re-visitation/continuation to a child-hood memory or Doctor Who scene briefly shown, but not elaborated on. You could even think of them as "mini-sodes", if you want.
As you "complete"(with 6 posts) the thread with the certain theme in mind, you can mark it off the space that relates to it and reply to this thread with your updated card. The objective is to edit the reply each time you need to update the card. Please also link to the threads in relation to the spaces you have marked off/chosen. The big goal here, of course, is to mark one row/column of spaces, either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally just like in regular Bingo.
So, for example, if I already did a thread including kites, and one with ice-cream, I would only need to "complete" a thread that relates to smores, and have 6 posts between me and my partner(s) in a thread that takes place on a cafe patio before I can mark those spaces. Once that line is full of chips, I would have achieved Bingo!
Below, you'll find the first variation of the card I made. If you want to generate your own card and/or use the website to "mark" your spaces, you're welcome to visit this link https://bingobaker.com#56cf911ee9bd0196, and the program will jumble the space for you and allow you to "mark" your card. In the bottom right-hand corner, there should be three lines, which will open up a menu to let you customize the color of your "mark". Please be sure to save the URL of the customized card or screenshot your progress so you can post/update your reply. Otherwise, you're free to use the card I've posted below and 'mark' your spaces using an image of some sort or a digital pen/marker tool. I've also created a TARDIS chip for you if you'd like to use that!
Little pixel awards will be given to those who getYowzah Bingo! You can use any of your characters for this. It will last until September 1st, 2021, in order to give everyone time to jump in, participate, as well as respond to their other threads! If you need help with setting up or marking your Bingo card, please feel free to reach out to me -- i don't mind doing it for you! Please let me know if this confuses you in any way or if you have questions!!
HAVE FUN and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
